Effective immediately, these <a href=\"http:\/\/big5.news.cn\/gate\/big5\/www.xinhuanet.com\/tw\/20240628\/b2f29e39786649afb1b009dc162a1bb5\/c.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new legal guidelines<\/a> <strong>include the death penalty<\/strong> for vaguely defined activities supporting \u201cTaiwanese independence.\u201d Only a few days earlier, on June 15, China Coast Guard (CCG) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccg.gov.cn\/2024\/xxgk_0515\/2459.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Regulation No. 3<\/a> came into effect, authorizing CCG commanders to detain foreign vessels and their crew that are seized in waters under China\u2019s jurisdiction or claimed by China for up to 60 days. This move raised significant concerns over the legal validity of new regulations and, consequently, emerged as a threat to regional stability and the international maritime legal regime.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><h2>What is the broader picture?<\/h2><p>Along with public opinion and psychological warfare, lawfare constitutes a core tenet of the Three Warfares (\u4e09\u7a2e\u6230\u6cd5), the key political warfare strategy of the People\u2019s Liberation Army (PLA) set forth in the amended Political Work Regulations of the PLA in 2003. The specific and interconnected aims of the Three Warfares illustrate Beijing\u2019s quest to manipulate perception and psychology to condition the operational environment in its favor. Lawfare serves as an <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptome.org\/2014\/06\/prc-three-wars.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">essential component<\/a> in China\u2019s efforts to \u201cdiminish an opponent\u2019s political support and to advance, inform, and structure territorial and resource claims.\u201d<\/p><p>The recent developments effectively demonstrate the practical implications of Beijing\u2019s incessant pursuit of political warfare, and lawfare in particular, as a tool of realizing its hegemonic ambitions.<\/p><p>The Chinese Supreme People&#8217;s Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of State Security, and the Ministry of Justice jointly issued \u201cOpinions on Legal Punishing of Diehards Elements of &#8216;Taiwan Independence&#8217; for Inciting the Split of the Country and Secession.\u201d The new guidelines target advocates of Taiwan\u2019s independence and enable trials <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cna.com.tw\/news\/acn\/202406210242.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in absentia<\/a>. The main perpetrators face life imprisonment or sentences exceeding ten years. Those who are deemed to cause serious harm to the PRC and its people may face the <strong>death penalty<\/strong>. Active participants in \u201csecessionist activities\u201d (although these lack a clear legal definition) may also face deprivation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cna.com.tw\/news\/acn\/202406210301.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">political rights<\/a>. These new regulations, also known as the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cna.com.tw\/news\/acn\/202406210242.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">22 Opinions,<\/a>\u201d are <a href=\"https:\/\/focustaiwan.tw\/politics\/202406250005\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">perceived as<\/a> the refinement of the 2005 Anti-Secession Law. As a result, Taiwan\u2019s Mainland Affairs Council (MAC)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/focustaiwan.tw\/cross-strait\/202406270018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">raised the alert level<\/a>\u00a0for Taiwanese travelers to China, Macau, and Hong Kong to orange, the second-highest alert level in Taiwan\u2019s four-level travel alert system, advising nationals to cancel non-essential travel. The new regulation also met with <a href=\"https:\/\/focustaiwan.tw\/cross-strait\/202406220015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">concern<\/a> from Taiwan ruling and opposition parties and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocac.gov.tw\/OCAC\/Eng\/Pages\/Detail.aspx?nodeid=329&amp;pid=65782155\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the US Department of State<\/a>.<\/p><p>Another bold move of Chinese authorities was the introduction of the China Coast Guard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccg.gov.cn\/2024\/xxgk_0515\/2459.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Regulation No. 3<\/a>, which grants it a wide range of operational powers, including boarding and detaining foreign vessels in disputed waters if they are suspected of violating China&#8217;s entry and exit regulations. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mofa.gov.tw\/News_Content.aspx?n=95&amp;s=117557\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to<\/a> Taiwan\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), the new regulation exacerbates the <strong>persistent geopolitical tensions<\/strong> in the region, particularly regarding the overlapping territorial claims in the South China Sea. Thus, MOFA accused the PRC of violating international laws and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Consequently, Taiwanese authorities view the seizing of Penghu-registered Da Jin Man (\u5927\u9032\u6eff) fishing vessel No. 88 on July 4 as a <a href=\"https:\/\/focustaiwan.tw\/cross-strait\/202407030010\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">direct result<\/a> of the new CCG regulation.<\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2>Why does it matter?<\/h2><p>Introducing 22 Opinions relatively shortly after the May 20 inauguration of Lai Ching-te (\u8cf4\u6e05\u5fb7) as the new president of Taiwan might be a strategic move of the PRC aimed at further intimidating the self-ruled island nation. The concern is whether these regulations will affect ordinary Taiwanese citizens and foreigners advocating for Taiwan\u2019s independence or will primarily target politicians. Additionally, whether China will leverage the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) to pursue such individuals remains a key question. China has been expanding its extradition treaties (currently approximately 60 bilateral <a href=\"https:\/\/safeguarddefenders.com\/en\/extradition-center\/overview-dealing-extraditions-china\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">extradition treaties<\/a>, of which 45 have been ratified), which has raised human rights concerns as the Chinese government has been accused of manipulating these treaties to exert global influence and prosecute individuals for political reasons. This expansion is seen as part of a broader strategy of <strong>transnational repression<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Furthermore, the operations related to China Coast Guard Regulation No. 3 could escalate regional tensions related to coastal state sovereign rights, including fisheries rights of coastal areas. China\u2019s increasing harassment of foreign vessels is evident in the interference in the\u00a0 Philippines Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), such as the June 17 clash at the <a href=\"https:\/\/thediplomat.com\/2024\/06\/china-and-the-philippines-inch-closer-to-conflict-in-the-south-china-sea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Second Thomas Shoal<\/a>. Thus, recent regulations by China should be a matter of international concern as they could affect regional peace and security.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is going on?
